AT A NEGRO FUNERAL.
Ceremonies of Old Slavery Days Still
Prevailing in the South.

Prevailing in the South.
Not long since was visiting one Of the
towns in upper South Carolina / and n
friend were taking an afternoon stroll into
the adjoining country. We had proceeded
some distance, and were passing through q
dense wood, when suddenly my companion
stopped and nervously inquired: "Whats
that!" l came to halt, and listened. A
weird, mournful sound hoated through the
trees and reached our ears 1t seemed to
come only Il short distance; appeared to en-
anate from the copse on the other side of the
road. We crossed over, and followed, bent
upon investigating what it was. We had
scarcely gained the opposite thicket when we
dobouched into one of those country burial
grounds which are to be found near every
hamlet in South Carolina.
1t was strange picture that met our sight,
and one that belonged more to heather lands
than our own civilized country. There,
around nowly made grave, about twenty
five negroes were collected. They all held
hands and were slowly moving to and fro,
while they walled forth drges and at inter-
walls would calculate wild, incoherent words.
In the midst of the circle at the head of the
grave, an old woman sat who rocked back
ward and forward. Her eyes rolled wildly,
and she moved in n mechanical way. This
was the widow of the deceased, and it was her
required part in the ceremony to loudly moan
at appointed Notwithstanding the singing.
Something in this way their hymn sounded,
as nearly as COW y catch the words:
De white horse he rode,
Wild de sickle in he hand,
And slew down our brldder

for some time, when suddenly they ceased
and the negroes Frustrated themselves upon
the ground, while the minister a tall very
dark negro, stood and offered up a prayer.
After the amen was uttered they rot and
two of the number took from a basket near
some articles with which they decorated tho
grave, as if they were placing upon the tomb
floral offerings. They then slowly formed in
procession and silently marched out of the
inclosure My friend and l. curious to decide
what the peculiar mode Of grave decoration
was, proreeicl to tho spot where an old man
was shouidering his spade to quit the place.

Blood Will Tell.

There is no question about it-blood will
tell-especially if it be an impure blood.
Blotches, eruptions, pimples and boils, are
all symptoms of an impure blood, due to the
improper action of the liver. When this i'm
portant organ falls to properly perform its
function Of purifying and cleansing the
blood, impurities are carried to all parts OF
the systems, and the symptoms above re-
ferred to are merely evidences of the strug.
gle of nature to throw of the poisonous
germs. Unless her warning be needed in
time, serious results are certain to follow
eliminating in liver or kidney disorders, oil
even in consumption. DIR. Pierce's Colder
Medical Discovery will prevent and cure
these diseases, by restoring the liver tc
healthy condition.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-The presi-
dent has been at the executive mansion
but little during the past week. He is
living an ideal summer life at Oak
View. In his suburban home he is free
from the constant importantly of the
office seeker and can work or rest as
may best suit his humOr. The close OF
the week will probably see Mrs. Cleve-
land under the same roof with him. Al
though President Cleveland has trav-
eled far less than most men who have
reached his years and have had his ex-
perience in public affairs, he promises
to make a good record as tourist be-
fore this year is over. If his present
plans be consummated, he will, before
congress meets, have visited the Can
adian boundary and the far South;
will have travelled the greater
part of the Mississippi valley
from st. Paul to st. Louis,
and visited most of the large cities of
the West. The president has noticed
that it is with expressions of cOmmen-
dation that the press generally has COM
mented on the short trips he has already
taken away from Washington. and that
his proposed long trip this fall meets
with general approval. No one of his
predecessors ever had such urgent and
impressively delivered invitations from
so many committees as he, and these
have brought out the fact, which he has
with no little pleasure observed, that
there will be no disposition to criticise
his trips as junketing tours. 1t is his
intention, or hope, to visit the Pacific
slope next year.
